Making up for lost time...

Well, needless to say it's been awhile. We haven't been up to much, it just seems as if there is never enough time in the day to complete everything you set out to accomplish. Does that make sense? We have some great news, Elise is going to be a big sister! I don't think she understands it yet. We tell her and she doesn't react much at all. I should be due the beginning of March.

Anyway, today Jeff was working on putting the upholestry in his car so Elise decided she would help. She pretty much just played around with the screwdriver- supervised of course!

Elise got a new tricycle and loves it! She doesn't know how to pedal it yet, she just scoots herself around on it. She'll learn!

Today was Audrey's 2nd birthday and it was celebrated at Gymboree (the playgym, not clothing store). Elise had a blast, the staff was very entertaining for the kids along with all the toys. Elise is sitting next to Audrey in the picture below.

Elise is putting bugs into the "giant turtles mouth" in this picture.

The Fourth of July, not much fun for our family. Elise and I were sick with some awful GI illness. We stayed in most of the day and when it was dark Jeff let off a few small fireworks. Elise was afraid of the fireworks. We did manage to dress Elise up in a patriotic outfit.

Elise and Audrey eating pizza at a kids play center. They look soo cute!

Here are some pics of Elise at Gymboree about a month ago. She loved crawling through the tunnel. As you can see....

Jeff has turned Elise on to basketball. She loves balls and especially throwing them.

Here she is shooting some hoops.

Elise's new words are "bless you" if you cough or sneeze she will say "bless you" after it. She is saying new words everyday and becoming such a big help! She gets the baby wipes out and tries to clean the windows and then she pushes the swiffer around! I hope she keeps up the good work!
